PROPERTY WORTH $2,000,000. Wisconsin Supreme Court Decides Im- portant Case. Milwaukee, Nov. 17.—The right of over 100 families, involving nearly 6v0 peaple, to occupy the land which they and their predecessors obtained from Jacob Muza on Jomes island, in this city, twenty years ago was confirmed in a decision handed down by the Wis- consin supreme court in the case of Xaver Jeka against the Illinois Stecl company. While the steel company held the record title to the property, Jeka claimed the title to his property by adverse possession, on the ground that he had lived there continuously twenty years, having obtained the title from Jacob Muza, once owner of al- most the entire island. The property occupied by the settlers on the island is said to be valued at approximate!y | $2,000,000. FRENCH CABINET CRISIS. Resignation of War Minister May End | in Disruption. Paris, Nov. 17.—The stability of the entire cabinet is considered to be se- riously threatened by the resignation of the war minister, General Andre. Reports are in circulation that Marine Minister Pelletan, Foreign Minister Delcasse and other ministers are about to resign, but those who are close to these ministers say the reports are unfounded. However, it is conceded that the cabinet as a whole is not like- ly to survive long. The private view of some of the best informed persons ‘within ministerial circles is that a new cabinet will be formed in the course of the next three weeks. It is consid- ered certain that Foreign Minister Delcasse will remain in the reorgan- ized cabinet. SITUATION IS QUIETER. Government in Control of Affairs at Rio Janeiro.

The commander of the Rastoiopa;. in an interview on his adventuiou: voyage, said: . “1 left Port Arthur-at midnight in = blinding snow storm. The bLoat navigated through all the dange:s floating mines without a mishap. < reaching the open sea we saw a = anese cruiser and some torpedo bozii in the distance, but we were sicamisg rapidly through the storm with bgacs extingushed and passed them uuno- ticed.

Sakharoff, died recent- 1y at Port Arthur of enteric fever. Optimism of Officers Overdrawn. The Rastoropny entered Chefoo with a music box playing a sprightly a.. and the savory odor of a breanfa. . steak, apparently teslifying to the iaci that Port Arthur still enjoys ILicsu meat.

They also deny the report that the Russian- armored cruiser Bayan has been sunk, though they admit that a shell damaged her engines, which are being repaired. Russian cruisers come out of Port Arthur dzily, the battle- ships remaining in the harbor. The overdrawn optimism of the officers, it was asserted here, made it obvious that their story was rehearsed before It was given to the public. Will Overtake First Division.
